The apostle Peter realized we have all spent enough time living like the world. Now we are called to live like Christians. It is a profound and foolish waste of time for Christians to live like the world, and we must simply stop being double-minded and start living as Christians.

 

It is sad that there are Christians among us who think that they have not spent enough time enjoying the “pleasures of sin” for a season. They want to experience more of the world before they make a full commitment to godliness. This is a tragic mistake and takes a path that leads away from life to the full. Peter responds to this in 1 Peter 4:7-19.
